I have used stuff called "Novus Plastic Polish" for a number of years...
it comes in three grades, 1 being mostly a cleaner and 3 being the most
aggressive abrasive.
Use it on pinballs machines (my other weakness) and motorcycle visors
myself, but it was designed and is often marketed for the boat-set....
to be used to clean up the plastic windows on their fancy (expensive!)
canvas-tops.
I have also used it on a Jeep softtop, great results......
there are several other brand-alikes around too, i imagine any would
work, and at 5 buck a bottle and no sewing, i would give it a try.
